In essence, xenophobia in the United States is not a new thing. What is even less new is the fact that xenophobia can exclude any ethnic group as long as there is a basis of public opinion. It does not necessarily target black people or yellow people.

The really bad period in the history of the United States was actually a period of the 20th century when Social Darwinism was rampant. During this period, states in the United States, influenced by Social Darwin, ordered the sterilization of certain white ethnic groups.

Because these white groups are not good enough, the theoretical basis is that these white groups are catching the problems of black people and are experiencing racial degeneration.

Sheffield knew deeply that there were actually hierarchies within this human beacon. The descendants of British and German immigrants were mainly the immigrants. Spanish and Italian immigrants were not very popular immigrants and were also excluded. It was just that they entered the twenties.

It was not so blatant in the century.

Even if they are the descendants of British and German immigrants, they still have to distinguish who is superior and who is inferior. During World War I and World War II, the descendants of German immigrants were suppressed in the general environment, but it was not as obvious as the descendants of Japanese.

The basis of public opinion actually exists. As long as Sheffield is a little more serious, collects some problems of Italian immigrants, and compiles a set of Italian jokes based on the template of black jokes, it can set off a wave of anti-foreigners, even if it cannot spread across the United States.

It is also enough to make life worse than death for Italian immigrants in some places.

If the Kingdom of Italy really clings to the slave owners, it will really try to direct the anti-foreign wave towards Italian immigrants.

This time, the fact that it helped the Ottoman Empire complete the transportation of troops in North Africa and intervened in the war was revealed. If it ends here, everyone will be fine on the surface, but if they really want to break up, Sheffield can't do anything about Italy, but it can

The Italian community in the United States still has many solutions.

With this confidence, it is impossible to apologize. Instead, Sheffield threatens a country that claims to be imperialist. Blind threats are certainly not a good idea. On the other hand, Sheffield is also buying newspapers in Italy and will appear in North Africa.

The armed forces, described as a dangerous trouble, would not interfere with the achievement of great Italy's purposes.

It's just a group of mercenaries who fight for money. Normally speaking, they really don't have much combat effectiveness.

Sheffield took Edith Rockefeller and Louisa Morgan and took a train to Los Angeles. This center of American film is still firmly in the hands of the slave owners, just like they once dreamed of, to feed shit.

I can only feed shit.

Overnight fame actually started in the early 20th century. As the influence of movies has grown more and more, in recent years, not everyone wants to band together to resist Edison's film patent hegemony, as happened in history.

But there are some slight differences. First, Sheffield only indirectly controls Hollywood. At the same time, it establishes a theater system to check and balance, so that these Hollywood film companies understand that if they are in trouble with themselves, they are in trouble with their money. The second is that slave owners are real

Those who can kill people usually follow the rules and are limited to the group of monopoly capitalists.

This time I came to Hollywood because of the birth of a nation. Its release cycle broke the box office record of the United States and earned 15 million US dollars at the box office. On such a memorable day, as the de facto king of Hollywood, Sheffield

Come and celebrate with David Griffith.

This achievement is certainly worth celebrating. It has already grossed $4 million more at the box office than the Birth of a Nation movie, also directed by David Griffith and based on the Civil War, during the same period in history.

Sheffield believes that this achievement is mainly due to himself. Without his tireless efforts to establish a theater system across the United States and allow more citizens to have the opportunity to watch movies, there would not be such outstanding results.

In David Griffith's estate, Hollywood's most famous stars are flocking here like pilgrims. In fact, it is also the case. With a box office of 15 million US dollars, countless handsome men and beauties have taken the big

David Griffith took it as an opportunity to become famous overnight.

It felt like walking on the red carpet for later generations. Sheffield, who had just been surrounded by reporters at the Congress in Washington, finally had the opportunity to watch others under the flashlight. However, Sheffield himself did not like this kind of occasion, and the handsome men and beauties who appeared under the flashlight were...

Really enjoy this opportunity.

Ah... after blowing out a long smoke ring, Sheffield retched very rudely, causing the women from the two wealthy families to roll their eyes. Louisa Morgan said teasingly, "The bosses of the entire Hollywood, here

This situation seems a bit inappropriate."

"I think it's even more inappropriate for a pregnant woman to run around." Sheffield's eyes fell on Louisa Morgan's lower abdomen. From the scale, anyone who is not blind can see that this is a pregnant woman who is about to give birth. The result

But he followed me around, because of his own conscience, and he did it voluntarily.

Louisa Morgan was very eloquent about this, saying that it was my first time to be pregnant, so I didn’t know what I should pay attention to.

Such unreasonable words were as devastating as a critical blow to Sheffield, so he could only respond with silence. What they said was so good. As a first-time pregnant woman, many things can be forgiven.

Sheffield focused on the boring parts again, and he also knew that this was inevitable. You can't ask a famous star to live like a blue-collar worker, and the process of exposure and monetization must be done.

Regardless of what Hollywood is like in future generations, the Cannes Film Festival, which seems to be more literary and artistic than Hollywood, is ultimately a commercial film celebration and is not as sacred as some people imagine.

Through this grand event, millions of tourists from all over the world flock to this French seaside town every year. This is the basis for the continuation of the Cannes Film Festival. As for the award results, it is actually not that important to the organizers.

.In fact, the more controversial the selection results are, the more the reputation of the Cannes Film Festival will be enhanced from a certain perspective.

This is still the film festival of the second most powerful film country in the future. As for Hollywood, there is no doubt that this is even more true. This film power is not based on the number of films shot. France, as the base camp of literary and artistic films, deserves to be second.

If calculated in terms of quantity, it is not the turn of the Republic. The largest one is India, and the second largest film base is actually Nigeria. This is just like Turkey and Mexico being the hegemons of world TV series, and they are all trivial knowledge.

Sheffield only paid a little attention and chatted about his own affairs with the two ladies, "These well-known celebrities, even if you two despise them in your heart, don't show it. They may not be as powerful as us in terms of money, but

It has influence that is not inferior to ours in other aspects, and controlling this influence to be used by us is the biggest purpose of investing in movies. On a larger scale, it is also useful during elections."

If it hadn't played this role, why would the slave owners have clung to this small industry? Although Hollywood's hegemony is not as stable as the United States' truly invincible agricultural hegemony, it still has a crushing advantage.

The slave owner recalled the glorious achievements of a special zone that was once known as the second film base in the world, but was directly destroyed by a Jurassic Park and a Titanic.

"Boss, I have found two particularly good talents who can dominate the screen in the next ten years." David Griffiths came to Sheffield's seat and sat down with full pride and said.

"Huh? Really?" Sheffield smiled, but he didn't agree. To be honest, he was a little face-blind about the movie stars of this era. It was not for any special reason, but in the era of black and white silent films, the faces of stars were seriously homogeneous.

.

Sheffield thinks this may be due to technical reasons, or because the development of Hollywood from the very beginning has been inseparable from arbitrage, so once a certain face is known to the public, similar actors will continue to appear.

Many female stars are similar in the eyes of slave owners, and even the makeup in movies is similar. If it comes down to technical reasons, there may be one reason. First of all, the photography technology is not up to par, so the real person is always better than the one on the screen.

Only when you are beautiful can you be accepted by the public, otherwise you will be mediocre.

The faces that are most capable of breaking through the mirror must have something in common, which has led to the current situation. In the early days of Hollywood, even if you wanted to be a comedian, you had to be handsome. Or you had to be ugly with distinctive features. If you don’t believe it, you can look at Zhuo

Chaplin, Chaplin himself is very handsome.

"Don't worry, boss, it's definitely impressive." David Griffiths had already heard Sheffield's perfunctory tone, but he still left with confidence, and after a while he brought over two young girls.

Sheffield took a look and found out that they were very similar, but immediately his eyes were fixed on the two girls. The homogeneity was just a matter of makeup. The essence of the two girls was definitely one in a million.

"Lillian Gish and Mary Pickford, boss, these two girls have huge potential." David Griffith said proudly, "I think these two are the most important male citizens of the entire country in the next ten years.

The girl of my dreams.”

"Well, not as beautiful as my wife." Sheffield keenly felt two eyes shining on him, coughed softly and replied sanctimoniously.

David Griffith nodded after thinking about it and said, "Yes, in a sense, there is a gap between Miss Natalia."

If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! Sheffield looked directly at David Griffiths and responded with um um um ah ah ah, "I can't say that, it's just that some people are not photogenic and are not suitable for the big screen."
Chapter completed!
